The Linguist

He knows words.
He speaks the language.
He denotes and connotes.
He can make words jump through flaming hoops, dive from high dives, and do back flips off of cliffs.
He can turn black into white and back into black again.
He analyzes roots, prefixes, and suffixes until they're just meaningless clumps of letters.

He knows two thousand four hundred ninety-five ways to say the same thing...

...but he does not always know what to say.

The Sociologist

He knows society.
He studies patterns, trends, and tendencies.
He knows complex theories on how society functions, struggles, and changes.
He sees the general in the particular, the strange in the familiar, and vice versa.
He thinks critically - and sometimes cynically - about the world and its many problems.
He knows who to blame: the powers-that-be, the majority, the bourgeoisie, hegemony...

...anybody and everybody but himself.

The Floor

is a highly underrated place to be.

Sit on it sometime.

It's relaxing.
